    Note 5 Tips and Tricks Thread

    Subscribing ....just picked up my Note 5 from Bestbuy today ..it wasn't too bad but spent over an hour in the store and there was a preorder line of about 9 people when I went in. No 64GB ...some guys opted for the 32GB instead. Really cool phone but I can see I'll be spending a lot of time...

    "I've ordered my Galaxy Note 5" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Re: "I've ordered my Galaxy Note 5" (Order & Shipping Discussion) Yep...got the pickup email from Bestbuy this morning for my 32GB White Note 5 (Sprint version). No phone calls though so I'm guessing it depends on the store. Going to trade in my old Note 2 for the $200 giftcard...

    Still undecided Note 5 or S6 Plus...

    IMO, Note easily, mainly cos of the S-Pen/Note taking functionality. I see it this way.....S6 edge is more cosmetic (cool factor) than of any real world practical use.

    Note 5 vs Note 4 discussion

    Re: Get the note 4 instead of the Note 5 To each his own :-). I've been using iPhone 6Plus exclusively for work (and I'm a field engineer so the phone gets used heavily for email, conferences, talk time while in/out airports). The 6 Plus battery has been adequate for my needs and if anything...

    Defender or Commuter

    I ordered the commuter directly from Otterbox on Sat (10% discount and free 2nd day air..$45+taxes). I'm taking delivery tomorrow (and no phone yet..hah). I opted for the commuter mainly for size/bulkiness reasons. I think the fall protection is more than adequate with the commuter without the...
